(230601) -- NAIROBI, June 1, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Chinese instructor Wu Tongming (R) and apprentice Boniface Kirumwa inspect a train on Mombasa-Nairobi Railway in Nairobi, Kenya, May 23, 2023. Wu is an engineer of Africa Star Railway Operation Company who has been working in Nairobi since 2017. With the increase of Mombasa-Nairobi Railway's demand for transport capacity, he worked with the apprentices to update the testing rules for the additional night trains. "I was impressed by the apprentices' initiative," Wu said. Boniface Kirumwa believes that learning from Chinese instructors helps him gain technical and practical experience. "I hope more Chinese instructors will come to Kenya in the future and work with us to promote infrastructure development," said Kirumwa.
The Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway in Kenya has become a flagship project of China-Africa cooperation, a "business card" of Chinese enterprises and a demonstration project of the Belt and Road Initiative.
